Volume 4 Crazy Growth 2017 Chapter 817
Zhou Dongsheng heard this and said with great interest: "If that's the case, then you can give it a try. Even if you don't have a chance to see him, it won't hurt to go to Pengcheng."
"It just so happens that I'm going on a business trip with you."
Zhou Dongsheng stretched lazily. He was just sitting around doing nothing. He was a bit bored of staying in Shanghai all day. It seemed like he hadn't been back to Guangzhou for a while, so he might as well take this opportunity to take a walk.
Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but be amused by his own sudden idea, thinking of it as an industry of the "Southern Tour" group.
However, to some extent, whether it is Guangzhou or Shenzhen, these two economic pearls located in the south are not only dazzling on the crown of the country.
At the same time, it is also of great significance to Zhou Dongsheng. Many of his industries are located here, and Guangzhou is also the "place where he made his fortune."
It’s just that due to the current needs, the most suitable place for development right now is Shanghai, that’s all.
"Okay, Chairman. I will write back to them right away. I believe they will give us a warm welcome..." Zhang Xiaoguang smiled and stepped back.
In fact, this is true. Today, Zhou Dongsheng is no longer an unknown person, but a rising star who has stepped onto the stage of history and is shining brightly.
Regardless of his wealth on paper or his many deeds, they have already become his commendable capital imperceptibly.
At the same time, Zhou Dongsheng has become a rising star that most people cannot ignore.
Therefore, Zhou Dongsheng’s name may not be well-known nowadays, but most people will still give him some face when facing such a young and powerful person.
After all, the world today is full of human relationships and worldly wisdom, without any fighting or killing at all.
After receiving the reply from Dongsheng Group, BYD’s Pengcheng headquarters naturally delivered the message to Wang Chuanfu’s office as soon as possible.
As the saying goes, soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals, from national diplomacy to corporate dealings, basically all follow the corresponding standards and etiquette. Unless there is a huge gap between the two sides, this principle will generally not be violated.
Although Dongsheng Group has little experience, as the saying goes, the business world is like a battlefield. It is never a place where seniority is valued, but real strength is paramount!
Only genuine abilities can win the minimum respect, and this principle also applies to most situations.
Although the two belong to different industries, the gap between them is not that big, so BYD naturally gives corresponding respect.
In fact, when Wang Chuanfu learned a little about Zhou Dongsheng's deeds, especially his legendary experience of starting from scratch, he couldn't help but be very interested in him. It was really difficult for him to resist the temptation to communicate with such a young man.
After all, to some extent, he is also one of the typical representatives of "starting from scratch", so he undoubtedly has a slight emotional preference for Zhou Dongsheng.
Therefore, after a little thought , Wang Chuanfu decided without hesitation to personally receive Zhou Dongsheng's arrival, taking this opportunity to communicate with him and also to figure out what young people like nowadays...
After all, after achieving some small success in the new energy vehicle manufacturing business, BYD has entered a bottleneck period of product positioning.
If you want to strike while the iron is hot and grow bigger and stronger, you certainly can't just work behind closed doors. Naturally, you have to find ways to further cater to market demand.
If we can grasp the pain points of young people today, it will undoubtedly be a good thing with twice the result with half the effort. After all, young people always symbolize the future. If we can grasp the needs of this group, wouldn’t we be grasping the future?
As for the professions that have their specialties, when it comes to understanding the preferences of young people, Zhou Dongsheng is undoubtedly more qualified to speak than himself, especially when looking at the history of Dongsheng Group, it is not difficult to see that...
He is indeed very good at grasping the preferences of young people.
Therefore, dealing with such young people may help them learn by analogy. Thinking of this, Wang Chuanfu pushed his glasses. He already had an idea about the arrangements for this meeting and immediately began to make arrangements.
…
After receiving a positive answer, Zhang Xiaoguang naturally reported it to Zhou Dongsheng as soon as possible, so Zhou Dongsheng immediately decided to go to Pengcheng.
With Li Jiana, a loyal and capable assistant, Zhou Dongsheng naturally doesn't need to worry too much about food, clothing, housing and transportation during the business trip, as she will take care of everything.
The next afternoon, the group arrived in Pengcheng exhausted. It was Zhou Dongsheng's second visit to Pengcheng after a long time.
Such a vibrant city, its pulse seems to be beating all the time, making a "boom, boom, boom" sound.
I believe that everyone who has been to Pengcheng has a deep feeling about it. Pengcheng is a city that is always building roads.
When Zhou Dongsheng and others arrived in Pengcheng, BYD had already arranged for someone to pick them up at the airport. After confirming their eye contact, they immediately took the initiative to come forward to greet them.
"Hello, welcome to Pengcheng. President Wang specifically asked us to pick you up at the airport..." the visitor said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Thank you, Mr. Wang, you are so polite. We will follow the host's wishes. Thank you for your hard work. May I know how to address you?" Zhang Xiaoguang on the side took the initiative to step forward to make contact.
"My last name is Zhang..." "We're from the same family. Nice to meet you..." After the greetings, the group came to the parking lot.
The vehicle that appeared in front of the group was, without a doubt, BYD's new energy vehicle, and not other luxury models for business use.
From the Qin Dynasty to the Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties, this romantic sentiment unique to Chinese civilization can perhaps only be appreciated by ourselves.
But at this point in time, to be honest, BYD's models are still a bit cheap in appearance and are far from reaching the level of making a name for themselves.
Obviously, it is not time for Brother Boatman to learn from his mistakes and pay more attention to the appearance design. It is not time to use his money to poach several outstanding appearance design masters to join and create a "design team"...
It is time for BYD to move to another level. However, it is obviously not good enough in 2017, otherwise its market value would not be just over 100 billion yuan.
Despite this, BYD staff still looked proud and introduced the cars in detail, as if the cars in front of them were truly industrial treasures.
"This is BYD's flagship new energy vehicle this year. Although it has not yet been officially launched, it has made great progress in terms of technology and the driving experience has been fully improved..."
“I believe that for those who have not experienced new energy vehicles, it will bring a different and novel experience. Please get in the car!”
Zhou Dongsheng was not restrained at all. He listened to the staff's bragging with relish, and occasionally took the initiative to talk to them out of curiosity, without any airs at all.
At the same time, from time to time you can see some blue and white taxis with green license plates whizzing by along the road, in order to support the development of BYD, a local car company, and respond to the macro policy of energy conservation and emission reduction.
The policy support given by the local government of Pengcheng is quite strong. The taxi market has already completed a comprehensive replacement and all of them have adopted BYD's new energy vehicle models.
The "forced taxis" immediately became a beautiful sight on the streets of Pengcheng. Such a large order not only solved BYD's urgent needs, but also further reduced the cost of taking a taxi, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
The cost advantage of new energy will also gradually become the first choice for online car-hailing and other operating vehicles in the future...
Zhou Dongsheng briefly went over the context of the times in his mind and had a clearer understanding of the impact of new energy.
A person's destiny depends first on his own efforts, and secondly on the progress of history. The arrival of new energy in the future is undoubtedly a historical necessity.
After all, in the struggle for modern civilization, the role played by energy is undoubtedly the well-deserved protagonist. To master energy is to master the lifeline of civilization.
For the sake of energy, the world's largest country can openly launch a "washing powder" campaign, and relying on its unique energy advantages, the Middle East has become an energy power that stands out from the rest.
At the same time, the automobile manufacturing industry, known as the "crown jewel of modern industry", also relies heavily on the drive of petroleum energy.
On this track that has been opened up for a hundred years, we have undoubtedly been slow at every step, and have been trapped in a situation where we are constrained everywhere and have no way to express our suffering. This is a perfect interpretation of the truth that "those who fall behind will be beaten."
It is undoubtedly a slim hope to surpass the accumulation of hundreds of years by self-struggle. Rather than being restricted by others, it is better to start from scratch...
Looking back from the future, Zhou Dongsheng could barely glimpse a little of this grand historical process. However, as early as ten years ago, someone had already anticipated this possibility and chose to bet on this "future"...
Perhaps, this is what it means to be “ half a step ahead of heaven .”
Just as Zhou Dongsheng was daydreaming, a group of people had already arrived at BYD headquarters. Zhou Dongsheng came to his senses and looked out the window. A gentle and smiling face suddenly appeared within reach.
Who else could it be besides Wang Chuanfu?
Zhou Dongsheng got out of the car quickly, and with a smile on his face, he took the initiative to extend his hand, "I have long heard of Mr. Wang's name, and today I see that it is indeed well-deserved..."
Wang Chuanfu smiled cheerfully, exuding a warm aura that only belongs to intellectuals, making people feel like being bathed in spring breeze. "Thank you for the compliment. On behalf of BYD welcome Mr. Jay to come for inspection..."
"It is my honor, and I hope to take this opportunity to reach further strategic cooperation with BYD."
After all, it was their first meeting, so after exchanging a few polite words, the group walked inside. After arriving at the reception room, the two groups took their seats.
"Every generation has its own talents. I used to be a little reluctant to admit my age, but after seeing Jay Chou, I can't help but admit it. When we were Jay Chou's age, we didn't even know what to do..."
As the host, the boatman took the initiative to chat about family matters, and a burst of good-natured laughter could be heard in the meeting room.
Zhou Dongsheng shrugged helplessly. "If someone else said this, I could still bear it with a thick skin, but if it came from Mr. Wang, I wouldn't dare to take it. After all, Mr. Wang's legendary deeds are the legends that people really enjoy talking about..."
Whether it was the value of a professional master's degree in the 1990s, or the fact that after keenly capturing the huge potential of the battery market, he resolutely gave up his stable job in a state-owned enterprise and chose to go into business, and then rose from the ground to become a battery giant in just a few years...
Things like the hand-rubbed production line, which is as good as the industry standard in terms of quality, are still talked about today.
Zhou Dongsheng mentioned one or two things in a concise and concise manner, which made Wang Chuanfu smile and shake his head. He pointed his finger at Zhou Dongsheng and spoke to others.
"This guy has done his homework and is here to make fun of me. If you really want to say that, Jay Chou's deeds are probably even worse than mine, right?"
"Everything has to be viewed in the context of the times. Therefore, I think that Mr. Wang is still better. After all, in that era, those who could survive in desperate situations under technological blockades were the real talents..."
"Technical matters are really difficult, and there is no way to cheat or falsify them!"
Zhou Dongsheng said seriously.
"Oh? It seems that Jay Chou also attaches great importance to technology." When it comes to technical issues, Wang Chuanfu couldn't help but asked with a smile.
"It's natural. Technology is the primary productive force. This is also the main reason why we are looking for BYD to cooperate with us. In my opinion, BYD is a technology-based company with the genes of technology research and development..."
Zhou Dongsheng went on to say, "Especially in the traditional business of batteries, BYD, which has always insisted on independent research and development, is definitely a pioneer at the forefront of the industry."
"And cooperating with such an enterprise is undoubtedly the best way to meet our needs."
Those who knew thought he was here to discuss business, while those who didn't thought it was a fan meeting. After being flattered by Zhou Dongsheng, even Wang Chuanfu felt a little embarrassed.
This young man is really good at handling things, isn't he?
For this reason, Wang Chuanfu did not respond, but instead changed the subject and asked a slightly tricky question.
"I heard that Jay Chou has a lot of experience in the research of the sharing economy, and has even gained considerable returns in terms of investment. I have a question I would like to discuss with Jay Chou..."
"The sharing economy is now in vogue, and the idea that everything can be shared is widely accepted by the market. So is there a chance that shared cars can take a place in this?"
Wang Chuanfu looked serious, as if he was really discussing the future of the industry with Zhou Dongsheng.
After all, based on his simple understanding of Zhou Dongsheng, Wang Chuanfu also knew that talking to him about technology would basically be like talking to a deaf person or playing the lute to a cow.
However, every profession has its own expertise. Zhou Dongsheng was able to achieve such remarkable achievements in a short period of time, undoubtedly relying on his foresight.
And this is also what Wang Chuanfu is most interested in. Could it be that we are “the same kind of people”?
